740,000 Granitestone Sauté Pans Recalled Over Ejecting Metal Cap Hazard

A metal cap on the screw assembly connecting the pan body to the handle can detach and fly off with force when the cookware is heated, creating both impact and burn hazards. E Mishan & Sons, Inc., the New York-based importer behind the Granitestone brand, has recalled approximately 740,000 Diamond Pro Blue stainless steel sauté pans in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The recall was announced on April 2, 2026.

The company is aware of at least 98 incidents in which the metal cap ejected from the pan. One consumer sustained bruising and burn injuries.

The recalled product is a 2-piece set pairing a 10-inch and an 11.5-inch sauté pan, sold for approximately $40. The UPC number on the packaging is 0-80313-08131-6. Anyone who purchased the set between August 2021 and February 2026 at Costco stores, Costco.com, Walmart.com, or Amazon.com may own the affected cookware. The pans were manufactured in China.

Stop using the pans immediately. E Mishan is offering a full refund to consumers who return the recalled pans. Reach the company toll-free at 888-230-6698, available at any hour, or submit a claim online at GSRecall.com. The brand's main website, granitestone.com, also posts recall information at the top of its homepage.

Under U.S. product safety law, the CPSC works with importers, not overseas manufacturers, to coordinate recalls and consumer remedies. Because E Mishan brought the pans into the country, the New York firm is responsible for administering the refund program. Consumers who have been injured or want to report additional incidents can file directly with the CPSC through its SaferProducts.gov database, which remains open to new reports even after a recall is announced.

The scope of this recall, nearly three-quarters of a million units sold over four years through some of the country's largest retail channels, illustrates how a structural defect in mass-market cookware can remain in circulation long before it is addressed. The ejection failure traced to a screw cap loosening under heat is exactly the kind of risk that product safety protocols are designed to intercept before goods reach consumers' kitchens, not after 98 documented incidents.
